Stronger Man
You told me today, I'm
Egocentric
Instead of taking my side
You're against me all the time
That's what it's like to be with
someone
Who likes to fight
You came out of the Marines
with something to prove
I lost my best friend years ago
I thought my new One was You
But maybe I was wrong
In thinking you were on my
side
I can't tolerate how mean you
get
Or your selfish pride
Every day we are together
I die a little more inside
And my friend's memory fades
in my heart
As I become someone else
Than Who I wanted from the
start
All I desired was a new best
friend
Someone to Love and accept
me
To be with me Till the End
Someone to hold me
And comfort me at night
Not someone who belittles me
And makes me feel I'm never
Right
Maybe I can be chatty &
dominant too
I know I've been sensitive since
childhood
But before I met you, I liked
Who I am
Maybe what I need
Is a stronger Man
